# import ratings data

 * I was doing some maintenance and deleted the plugin thinking that the data would
   remain in the database.
    *OOOPS! to find out when I reinstalled, the data was
   gone.
 * I went to a backup database and retrieved _ratings table and uploaded the table
   to the primary database. The table is now there with data, but the posts are 
   not reflecting the data. (example a post with 4 votes is showing zer0)
 * Hope this makes sense, if not I’ll clarify.
    **All wisdom greatly appreciated.
 * PS: can’t go back to a full back up as the site is busy and changes multiple 
   times per hour.
 * THANKS FOR ANY HELP

 * The ratings is stored in wp_postmeta under ratings_average, ratings_score and
   ratings_users field. the table wp_ratings is just for logging purposes.
